"Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about."

I was on edge..

...but thankfully bounced back. I was seriously considering aborting mission. I've just been so overwhelmed lately. Sometimes reality smacks me over the head and I cant help asking myself if I'm making the right decisions. So then I sulk a little bit, throw a pity party, and remember that just because classes are hard and some professors are horrible, doesnt mean I should give up.

*physics class*

Students: wait wait go back to the last slide
Professor: why?...
Students: uh so we can copy it down....
Professor:what is there to copy? Just write the main points and fill in the blanks when you get home!

Fill in the blanks?? I'm sorry did I hear him correctly? Fill. In. The. Blanks? Blanks?? Please correct me if I'm mistaken but i thought the BLANKS were the part where he is supposed to actually TEACH.

See? This is what I have to deal with. *shakes head*

On a good note, I had success finding another doctor to shadow. I havent been making it to the neurologist lately because the times he wants me to come, has been conflicting with the time that I"m supposed to be at the lab. Next week I"ll be able to make it to shadow because I'll be going to the lab on Tuesday, not Monday.
Anyways, back to the new shadowing. I sent a nice email to this doc explaining my intentions and here is what he wrote me back:

I would be happy to accommodate you. Let’s try and meet so that we can discuss in detail what you have in mind. I am available on Tuesdays for the next two weeks. Please be in contact with my administrative assistant, (insert name), to set up a time,

Respecfully,
Dr. (insert another name...)

Booyah. I'll be my own dern pre-med society. Everything that I've worked toward, I've gotten. Myself. It's hard being a one man show though, I cant expect to do all of this alone, I know.
But lets see if I can get what I"m ultimately working toward.
